We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at the Baywatch apartments . Kurt and Ivy were so friendly and helpful and the gardens and apartments were immaculate. The bed was very comfortable and the aircon quiet and efficient.We stayed in the smallest apartment but there are now two newly built gorgeous apartments with luxury kitchens and bathrooms.The wifi was good and it was easy, flat walking to several little shops and good restaurants.Thank you so much Kurt and Ivy for a wonderful stay in Castara.

Excellent accomodatins. Kurt was very nice. We spent most of the day in the beach but the cool a/c and balcony was so inviting. we had a candlelight dinner the 4 of us. It was very nice. Castara is probably the best beach for families who want the private beach experience. homemade icream shop, small family owned restaurants, scattered bars around. It's nice to see the slower pace so warm and friendly.

My husband and I travelled with our 2.5 year old and stayed for about a week. I had always wanted to experience life in a Tobago fishing village, but needed convenience and security with a little one. Mr. Kurt's place was ideal - a few steps from the beach, safe (he is a well-respected policeman), comfortable (air conditioned) and well-equipped. With no car and a little one, we appreciated that it was level with the beach and had a lovely flat garden, as most other places in Castara require a steep walk. Mr. Kurt and his family were so helpful and discrete at the same time. The airport pick up and drop off was really appreciated. Castara is lovely, with beaches, rainforest and waterfall hiking, fresh bread made by the ladies of the village, and several convenience stores all in walking distance, so you don't need a car. Be prepared that eating out is very expensive in Castara, and we really appreciated the couple of times when Mr. Kurt's wife cooked for us - the best meals we had. Overall, people are friendly, but there are a few unsavoury characters hanging around the beach, so I avoided going there alone. We appreciated Baywatch apartment even more when we saw our friend's accomodation up the hill - a steep climb up, that was bat infested and not clean or safe for little kids (dealing with the foreign owner by email was incredibly unpleasant as well). You would be fortunate to experience Mr. Kurt and his family's true Tobagonian hospitality and lovely place, especially at this price.

Kurt and Ivy are lovely people and make terrific hosts. They live on the premises and always ensure you have everything you need.

Our new, spacious apartment was well furnished and immaculately clean. Midway through our 6 day stay Ivy changed the linen and thoroughly cleaned the apartment again.The beach is 1 minute at a slow walk,there are several places to eat and drink all within a 5 minute walk.If you want solitude don't come here, you are in the middle of a fishing village: the poeple make noise and so do the birds and chickens. We loved them all.

Baywatch apartment is ideally located in the heart of the village, short walks to the beach, restaurants, fish market, and clay oven bakery. The apartment was very clean, with excellent wifi, the best reception we encountered on our entire vacation. The kitchen space was tight with room for only one person, but adequately stocked. Kurt and Ivy were gracious hosts, making sure we were comfortable. Gated secure yard to park a rental vehicle.They were presently building additional rental units on their property while we were there.
